Professor Sir Roger Penrose's work, spanning fifty years of science, with over five thousand pages and more than three hundred papers, has been collected together for the first time and arranged chronologically over six volumes, each with an introduction from the author. Where relevant, individual papers also come with specific introductions or notes. Publication of The Emperor's New Mind (OUP 1989) had caused considerable debate and Penrose's responses are included in this volume. Arising from this came the idea that large-scale quantum coherence might exist within the conscious brain,...

Professor Sir Roger Penrose's work, spanning fifty years of science, with over five thousand pages and more than three hundred papers, has been collected together for the first time and arranged chronologically over six volumes, each with an introduction from the author. Where relevant, individual papers also come with specific introductions or notes. This sixth volume describes an actual experiment to measure the length of time that a quantum superposition might last (developing the Diosi-Penrose proposal). It also discusses the significant progress made in relation to incorporating the...

The concept of symmetry has widespread manifestations and many diverse applications--from architecture to mathematics to science. Yet, as twentieth-century physics has revealed, symmetry has a special, central role in nature, one that is occasionally and enigmatically violated. Fearful Symmetry brings the incredible discoveries of the juxtaposition of symmetry and asymmetry in contemporary physics within everyone's grasp. A. Zee, a distinguished physicist and skillful expositor, tells the exciting story of how contemporary theoretical physicists are following Einstein in their...

In Zyklen der Zeit entwirft Roger Penrose eine vollig neue Betrachtungsweise der Kosmologie - mit uberraschenden Antworten auf die oft gestellte Frage: Was war vor dem Urknall?
Der Schlussel zudieser neuen Penrose-Kosmologiesind der beruhmte Zweite Hauptsatz der Thermodynamik dem zufolge die Unordnung der Welt insgesamt standig zunimmt und die Lichtkegel-Geometrie der Raumzeit die die Grenzen der beobachtbaren Vergangenheit und Zukunft bestimmt. Penrose verknupft in diesem Buch beide physikalischen Prinzipien in einem kosmologischen Entwicklungszyklus, in demdas erwartete Ende...

Bilgisayar ekranindaki goruntuler gercek dunyadaki olgularin bire bir temsili midir, yoksa sanal bir dunyada hayal mi gormekteyiz? Sakin evren dedigimiz, muazzam bir bilgisayar ekranindan ibaret olmasin? Bilgisayarlar bilinclendirilebilir mi? Yani akillanip kendi baslarina dusunebilirler mi? Ama bu tur sorulardan once, akil nedir veya bilinc nerededir sorularini da sormamiz gerekmez mi? Roger Penrose, yaniti zor sorulara iliskin goruslerini, bu kitabindan once felsefenin derin tartismalarindan uzak durmus bir matematikci ve temel bilimcinin pratik yaklasimiyla savunuyor. Gorelilik teorisinden...
